I guess it isn’t a big deal else it would be changed – but I have grown tired of it. This, coupled with off-topic articles, a large increase and focus on advertising, and an IDC attitude or approach is what offends me.

Lately the only articles worth reading have all been from Craig. I hope you guys pay him well he deserves it! He is what makes people like me come back to read your site again, and has really been holding his own for a long time.

And Mick’s posts are why I’m leaving SitePoint. One less reader and past customer won’t really hurt your bottom line enough to make an impact, but I felt like expressing my opinion after supporting you guys so long.

Take care,
Mark

It helps our readers keep up with our publishing schedule. This one has three short paragraphs and a video interview. Yes, that’s part of our marketing, but it hardly constitutes a “full advertisement article”. Sorry if that offends you, but it really doesn’t seem like a big deal.
